A549 cell was trypsinized and plated at 50% confluence in DMEM. 16 hours later, BYL719 was added at final concentrations of 0, 1, 5, 10 and 20uM. Another 24 hours later, cells were harvested in RIPA with protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail. Total protein concentration was measured by BCA method. Lysates equivalent to 20ug total protein were subject to Western Blot, using total- AKT, pS473-AKT, pT286-CyclinD1 and beta-actin (internal control) antibodies.

Solubility (25°C)

Add solvents to the product individually and in order:
30% PEG400+0.5% Tween80+5% propylene glycolFor best results, use promptly after mixing.

30 mg/mL

* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.

Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.

Answers to questions you may have can be found in the inhibitor handling instructions. Topics include how to prepare stock solutions, how to store inhibitors, and issues that need special attention for cell-based assays and animal experiments.

LY294002 is the first synthetic molecule known to inhibit PI3Kα/δ/β with IC50 of 0.5 μM/0.57 μM/0.97 μM in cell-free assays, respectively; more stable in solution than Wortmannin, and also blocks autophagosome formation.

3-Methyladenine (3-MA) is a selective PI3K inhibitor for Vps34 and PI3Kγ with IC50 of 25 μM and 60 μM in HeLa cells; blocks class I PI3K consistently, whereas suppression of class III PI3K is transient, and also blocks autophagosome formation.

Idelalisib (CAL-101, GS-1101) is a selective p110δ inhibitor with IC50 of 2.5 nM in cell-free assays; shown to have 40- to 300-fold greater selectivity for p110δ than p110α/β/γ, and 400- to 4000-fold more selectivity to p110δ than C2β, hVPS34, DNA-PK and mTOR.

Wortmannin is the first described PI3K inhibitor with IC50 of 3 nM in a cell-free assay, with little selectivity within the PI3K family. Also blocks autophagosome formation and potently inhibits DNA-PK/ATM with IC50 of 16 nM and 150 nM in cell-free assays.
